Theoretical Study on the Structures and Properties of Hydrogen Bonding Complexes between Diazines and Water

Density functional theory B3LYP method and second-order Moller-Plesset perturbation theory MP2 method were employed to obtain the optimized geometries of the ground state and interaction energy for diazines and water complexes. The results show that the ground state complexes have strong hydrogen bonding interaction with -20.99, -16.73 and -15.31 kJ/mol after basis set superposition error and zero-point vibration energy correction for pyridazine-water, pyrimidine-water and pyrazine-water, respectively, and large red-shift for the symmetric H-O stretching vibration frequencies due to the formation of N…H-O hydrogen bond in the diazine-water complexes. The NBO analysis indicates that intermolecular charge transfer are 0.0316, 0.0255 and 0.0265 e respectively. In addition, the first singlet （n,n＊） vertical excitation energy of the monomer and the hydrogen bonding complexes between diazines and water was investigated by time-dependent density functional theory.     

Theoretical study on conformational features and cation-binding properties of a diquinone calix[4]arene

Theoretical studies of a diquinone calix[4]arene and its interactions with the cations Li⁺, Na⁺, K⁺ and Ag⁺ have been performed. Conformational features and cation-binding properties were evaluated with the restricted hybrid Becke three-parameter exchange functional method using the 6-31G(d) basis set and its relativistic effective core potentials. To model the effect of medium, the polarisable continuum model was also used. Four typical conformations of the parent diquinone calix[4]arene were studied. The calculated results show that the most stable conformers are 1,3-alternate and partial cone in the gas phase and in CH₂Cl₂ solution, respectively. The optimised geometric structures were used to perform natural bond orbital analysis. The two main types of driving force metal–ligand and cation–π interactions are investigated. The calculated binding energy for cations (Li⁺, Na⁺, K⁺ and Ag⁺) is discussed. The calculated results indicate that cone complexes are the most stable.

Theoretical investigation on electronic structure and stability of some inverted cucurbiturils by density functional theory

Structure and stability of diastereoisomers of cucurbit[n]urils (CB[n = 5–10]), the inverted CB[n]s, were investigated by density functional theory (DFT) computations. All the inverted CB[n]s were less stable than their normal CB[n]s and the mono-inverted ones with one inverted glycoluril unit in their structures were more stable than their doubly-inverted isomers. Relative change in dipole moments and molecular electrostatic potentials (MEP) were discussed with the deformation in geometric structure and charge distribution of the normal and inverted CB[n]s.     

碳纳米管内P—Ylide反应的理论研究

碳纳米管空腔不仅可以改变填充到其内部分子的性质,而且对其内部的SN2取代反应有促进或抑制作用,因而被视为一种新型的“固体溶剂”．本文通过密度泛函理论研究了CH2O和PH3CH2在气相、苯溶液和碳纳米管空腔内的[2＋2]加成反应．结果表明,与气相相比,碳纳米管空腔对于[2＋2]环加成反应影响不大,这是因为所研究的[2＋2]环加成反应中,反应物并不是轴对称的,不同于SN2取代反应的一维线性排列,所以具有较大轴向极化率的碳纳米管对[2＋2]环加成反应影响较小．     

Theoretical Study of One-electron Redox Potentials of Some NADH Model Compounds

Several 1‐benzyl‐1,4‐dihydronicotinamide derivatives, which are important NADH model compounds were studied theoretically in acetonitrile. The performances of various DFT methods including B3LYP, B1B95, B3PW91, MPW1B95, MPWKCIS, and M06 were tested to calculate the redox potentials. The first theoretical protocol to predict the redox potentials of these derivatives is B1B95, whose reliability has been tested against almost all the available experimental data. Strikingly, the mean absolute derivations (MAD) and root mean square (RMS) error of the current theoretical model equal 0.015 and 0.017, respectively. By using this method, the important thermodynamic properties of BNAHs were investigated and the mechanisms of hydride transfer progress were explained. Besides, para‐substituents that have a big effect on these redox potentials of BNAH were systematically studied and carefully demonstrated.

Study on the Intramolecular Hydrogen Bonds of Dibenzofurans, Xanthones and Anthraquinones with One or Two Positions Substituted by Hydroxyls

<正>The thermodynamic properties of dibenzofurans (DFs), xanthones (XTs) and an- thraquinones (AQs) with one and two positions substituted with hydroxyls in the ideal gas state at 298.15 K and 1.013×10~5 pa were calculated at the B3LYP/6-311G~* level using Gaussian 03 program. The isodesmic reactions were designed to calculate the standard free energy of formation (Δ_fG~e). Three types of hydrogen bonds exist in the three kinds of chemicals and their bond energies were ascertained as 7-15, 15-23 and 49-58 kJ·mol~(-1) respectively by comparing the Δ_fG~e values. Electronic density topology analysis was applied to validate the strength of bond.     

Theoretical Studies on the Hydrogen Bonds of Different Position Action Mechanisms of Thymine with Uracil

In this research, the hydrogen bonds Y···H-X(X = C, N; Y = N, O) of thymine and uracil have been theoretically studied. The results show that hydrogen bond leads to bond length elongation and stretches the frequency red-shift of N-H···Y. Meanwhile, the C-H···O bonds shorten and stretch the frequency blue-shift. They all belong to traditional hydrogen bonds. The intermolecular charge transfer caused by the intermolecular hyperconjugation ρ*(N–H) →n(Y) and intramolecular charge redistribution by intramolecular hyperconjugation ρ(C-H)→ρ*(C-N) play important roles in the formation of hydrogen bonds. According to the judgment standards proposed by Bader and Popelier, these hydrogen bonds have typical electron density topological properties. Electrostatic surface potential(ESP) is a useful physicochemical property of a molecule that provides insights into inter- and intramolecular associations, as well as the prediction of likely sites of electrophilic and nucleophilic metabolic attack.

Properties of dimethyl 3‐(alkylamino)‐5,10‐dioxo‐5,10‐dihydro‐1H‐pyrazolo[1,2‐b]phthalazine‐1,2‐dicarboxylate and its derivatives were studied by means of ab initio method.

H bonds have covalent character (?²ρ<0). Moreover, steric effect of the t‐Bu group on structure and topological parameters of pyrazolo[1,2‐b]phthalazine conformers was studied. Finally, the powerful method of Espinosa was used to obtain the H‐bond energy.

A DFT Study on Intramolecular Hydrogen Bond in Substituted Catechols and Their Radicals

Density functional theory(DFT)at B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) level was employed to calculate intramolecular hydrogen bond enthalpies (H1HB),O-H charge differencces,O-H bond lengths and bond orders for various substituted catechols and their radicals generated after H-abstraction.It was found that although the charge difference between hydrogen-bonded H and O played a role in determining H1HB,H1HB was mainly governed by the hydrogen bond length.As the oxygen-centedred radiocal has great tendency to form a chemical bond with the H atom,hydrogen bond lengths in catechloic radicals are systematically shorter than those in catechlos,hence,the H1HB for the former are higher than those for the latter.     

三接触弯曲构型的蓝移氢键CH3…Y的理论研究

运用量子化学从头算方法, 在MP2/6-311＋＋G(d,p), MP2/6-311＋＋G(2df,2p), MP2/6-311＋＋G(3df,3pd)和QCISD/6-311＋＋G(d,p)水平上, 研究了CH₃F, CH₃Cl和CH₃Br作为质子给体与Cl^－, Br^－作为质子接受体形成的氢键CH₃…Y. 计算结果表明: 6种复合物中C—H键收缩, 伸缩振动频率增大, 形成蓝移氢键. 分子中原子(Atoms in Molecules, AIM)分析表明, 这些复合物的电子密度拓扑性质与普通氢键有着本质的不同, 在Y…H之间不存在键临界点, 而在Y与C之间存在键临界点, 因此这些相互作用严格地不能称为氢键. 自然键轨道(Natural bond orbital, NBO)分析表明, 在这些复合物中弯曲的CH…Y的特殊结构使得分子间超共轭n(Y)®σ*(C—H)减小到可以忽略; 质子接受体的电子密度没有转移到σ*(C—H)上, 而是转移到了σ*(C—X) (X＝F, Cl, Br)上; 存在一定程度的重杂化; 分子内超共轭相互作用减小使得σ*(C—H)的电子密度减少. 这些因素共同导致C—H伸缩振动频率的蓝移.

Theoretical studies on high energetic density nitramine explosives containing pyridine

The insensitive property of explosives containing pyridine is combined with the high energy of nitramine explosives,and the concept of new nitramine explosives containing pyridine is proposed,into which nitramine group with N N bonds is introduced as much as possible.Based on molecular structures of nitramine compounds containing pyridine,density functional theory(DFT) calculation method was applied to study designed molecules at B3LYP/6-31+G(d) level.The geometric and electronic structures,density,heats of formation(HOF),detonation performance and bond dissociation energies(BDE) were investigated and comparable to 1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazinane(RDX) and 1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocane(HMX).The simulation results reveal that molecules B and D perform similarly to traditionally used RDX.Molecule E outperform RDX,with performance that approach that of HMX and may be considered as potential candidate of high energy density compound(HEDC).These results provide basic information for molecular design of novel high energetic density compounds.     

Theoretical Study on a 42 T Model of Beta Zeolite by Density Functional Theory Simulation

Density functional theory was applied to study the structure of Beta zeolite. A model cluster containing 41Si atoms, 1 Al atom, 70 O atoms and 29 H atoms was constructed. The model structures were optimized using the Becke＇s three-parameter hybrid method with the Lee-Yang-Parr correlation functional （B3LYP） and the 6-31G basis set applying the Gaussian03 program package. The NMR parameters were calculated to validate the rationality of the model. It was found that in the optimization models, all O-H bond lengths were in range of 0.984-0.985A^°, among which the model with O-H bond length of 0.98478A^° was more stable than the others. The ^1H and ^27Al chemical shifts of the most stable model were 4.03434 and 55.74 ppm, which were pretty consistent with Larry＇ s experimental data of 4.1 and 54 ppm. The relationship between other structure parameters and total relative electric energy has also been found. All the results exhibit that the 42 T （the total number of Si and Al atoms is 42） model has common properties of the standard of zeolite Beta.     

Elucidating Solvent Effects on Strong Intramolecular Hydrogen Bond: DFT-MD Study of Dibenzoylmethane in Methanol Solution

The dynamic aspect of solvation plays a crucial role in determining properties of strong intramolecular hydrogen bonds since solvent fluctuations modify instantaneous hydrogen-bonded proton transfer barriers. Previous studies pointed out that solvent-solute interactions in the first solvation shell govern the position of the proton but the ability of the electric field due to other solvent molecules to localize the proton remains an important issue. In this work, we examine the structure of the O−H⋅⋅⋅O intramolecular hydrogen bond of dibenzoylmethane in methanol solution by employing density functional theory-based molecular dynamics and quantum chemical calculations. Our computations showed that homogeneous electric fields with intensities corresponding to those found in polar solvents are able to considerably alter the proton transfer barrier height in the gas phase. In methanol solution, the proton position is correlated with the difference in electrostatic potentials on the oxygen atoms of dibenzoylmethane even when dibenzoylmethane-methanol hydrogen bonding is lacking. On a timescale of our simulation, the hydrogen bonding and solvent electrostatics tend to localize the proton on different oxygen atoms. These findings provide an insight into the importance of the solvent electric field on the structure of a strong intramolecular hydrogen bond.
